The annual meeting of the Washington Light Infantry corps, held last night at the armory, was largely attended.

Crannxe THat THE SHooTING was IN SELE- Derexse.—In the case of William Briggs, c victed Oct. 26 of the murder of Wm. Jones, in a quarrel over a hat on Columbia road in May last, it is stated by persons interested that an imy t witness has been discovered ina colored man named Eli Ferguson, employed in a Pittsburg dry goods house asa porter. The testimony in the case showed that Briggs and Jones had a quarrel over a hat and Briggs left, but returned with a pistol, and, the quarrel be- ing renewed, he shot Jones. Briggs claimed that the shooting was in self-defense. After he had been convicted his counsel, Messrs. J. Mc- Dowell Carrington and John Cruikshank, moved for a new trial and filed seven affidavits in su port thereof, and the government filed eight affidavits in opposition. After argument, Judge Montgomery denied the motion without preju- dice on November 24.

Scott Wither- bee, gentleman well-known in business an? in Washington the first Monday in | bee. The marriage certifi- ttested by the seal of the court, and her baptismal certificate under the seal of the church, which gives the date of her birth, attest her legitimacy beyond question. whil addressed to her by Mr. Wither- bee himself, dated September 9, 1886—several weeks after their se] tion—in which he earnestly assures her of a kind welcome if she would return to his home. and states that it was never his wish that she should leave it, clearly negatives the statement that he had cast her off as an unfaithful spouse. It also appears that her bill for divorce was not sworn to or pressed totrial. We published a tele frot n on the 23th ultimo in which stated that Mr. Witherbee had just filed his for divorce charging desertion only, butreciting that she had been married to him under the assumed name of Dunlap, whereas her true | name was McCarthy. It is prover for us to state that since publishing this telegram we have been shown a duly certified transtript from the records of the chanvery court of Geneva, IL, from which it appears that on December 9, 1868, a decree for her adoption by George Dunlap and Maria A. Dunlap, of Elgin, was entered of record. she being then but six years of age, and she was therefore married under her true and only legal name. We are informed that Mrs, Witherbee intends to file a cross bill, and thus challenge her husband to establish by legal proofs in the courts the charges that he has made or instigated so broadly through the ress, and which are notsusceptible of disproof yy documentary evidence. We cheerfully add as an act of justice to Mrs. Mary Butterfield that she has, in our judgment, been fully vindicated from the aspersion so unjustly cast upon her. Her first husband, Mr. John De Witt McCarthy, the father of the Witherbee, was, we learn, a ier in the Union army, and was present Mi gallant sol killed at the battle of Nashville, in |. She is now the respected wife of Mr. Theodore D, Butterfield, a respectable merchant of Chicago. Ruevwarisu According to recent investigations is caused by excess of lactic acid in the blood.
